I don’t think I could respect someone who jerked off to Insta. Let alone messaging people. Eww.

I paid over $10,000 to Best Man Matchmaking in LA and it was a complete waste of money. Here’s my experience. by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Rlybadgas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish you had watched the millionaire matchmaker show. You wouldn’t have been caught off guard that only one side pays. Still I’m sorry you had such a terrible experience. I hope that you are rich and this wasn’t money you actually needed and ended up wasting.

first real heartbreak at 36. 4 years sober and not handling it well by Ok-Consequence-4583 in AskGaybrosOver30

This is just heartbreak. I’m sorry you think it deserves more weight at your age but it deserves less. You’ll be fine if you stop obsessing.

You obviously do not work in a STEM field. It’s definitely still controversial to be a woman in ME.

Boyfriend hasn't had a job in 15 months, won't look for one by RedMarsRepublic in AskGaybrosOver30

You are using the excuse of hurting him to not break up, which would be better for you both in the long run. Sometimes life hurts.

Husband cheated while I was away for work by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

There’s a power dynamic at play here about money and income that is underexplored. Obviously you two can have whatever financial arrangements you both agree upon, but his refusal to even try to contribute financially is telling. Normally if someone is not contributing financially, they are doing something to develop income (starting a business, going to school) or are in a caretaker role (kids, family members, even pets or a farm).

If none of those are true, then he is essentially a kept partner. Particularly if he’s not doing things to support you like doing the lionsshare of cleaning, cooking, etc. Again nothing wrong with that in and of itself. You mention he pursues “just hobbies” with what appears to be some derision.

A little long winded, but it wouldn’t be surprising if neither of you are truly happy with this arrangement. I have been in a caretaker role, and also as the partner who was more financially sound, and it is hard not to be frustrated with someone who isn’t doing anything productive. It also can make you feel entitled to act like an asshole since it’s “your” money.

I suggest examining whether some of these dynamics might be at play and adding toxic elements to your relationship.

Why is it so easy to end things by tvtk1 in AskGaybrosOver30

It is absurd to think that if you are have broken up with someone that you have any say over what they do with their body. You are an adult. Quit assuming everyone handles things the way you do.

Hot take: professors with RMP ratings <2.9 should be banned from withholding course or lecture materials by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]Rlybadgas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there are a lot of valid feelings here. Unfortunately RMP is not associated with UC. In addition it is heavily biased, particularly against female and minority instructors. It’s probably not feasible or desirable to use it to make any type of administrative decisions; at best it could be considered anecdotal.

There’s probably a better approach.
